Xu Yinyin is now a little rich woman, and all the profits from Tea Man World belong to her. Zhang Xiulan and the others do not interfere.
Opened in April, business has always been very good. The ladies and girls in the city come to drink tea when they have something to do, and they come to drink tea when they have nothing to do. Their spending power is very high.
Even other time-honored teahouses in Fucheng avoid her teahouse.
In the past six months, I have been able to earn an income of two to three hundred taels every month.
This will fill up her little private treasury.
Now I have received another two hundred taels of gold, which is also two thousand taels of silver. Isn't this a proper little rich woman?
Converted into RMB, that adds up to three million. She worked until retirement in her previous life and could not save so much money.
Therefore, Xu/Little Rich Woman/Yin Yin plans to live a luxurious life and make herself happy.
October is the time when the meat of sea bass is fat and tender. Eat more sea bass at this time, which is nutritious and delicious.
I heard that the Mingyue River in Zhoucheng is rich in sea bass, and there are several restaurants specializing in fish along the river, which are very famous.
Yes, Xu Yinyin wants to take a ten-day trip to the city to eat fish and visit the city.
Traveling alone is no fun. When you have good things to do, you have to think about your family.
The whole family is going, and the expenses along the way will be covered by her, Mrs. Xu Xiaofu!
Zhang Xiulan let Zheng and Zhang Sanlang look after the shop for a few days, and it was no problem. As for Xu Dajun, she could ask her husband for a few days off and call it a study tour, and there would be no big problem.
But Xu Chunshan was busy harvesting peppers, which was a big deal, and he really couldn't spare any time. "Take my share, eat more, have fun, and remember to bring me a gift back from Zhoucheng."
Of course, this whole family is not just their small family of four.
Old man Xu, old lady Xu, and Xu Yinyin were sure to take them with them.
The shop is easy to talk to, just let Xu Chunhe and Ma look after it for a few days.
Xu Chunhe had to deliver goods and couldn't leave, and Ma couldn't go because his daughter-in-law Yu was pregnant, so he stopped going.
Xu Dalang is not going either.
Xu Chunlin and Zhou were not going either, and happened to be helping Xu Erlang look at the shop. Xu Erlang wanted to see more, so he and Luo were going.
Among the rest, Xu Sanlang and Xu Wuya will also go.
There is also Xu Chunxi and Erbao, and Zhao Wenshan cannot leave.
After deciding on the itinerary, Xu Yinyin began to make preparations.
It is very necessary to make a travel guide. With so many people traveling, worrying about what is wrong here and there on the road will greatly affect the travel experience.
Route, accommodation along the way, and places to visit.
Xu Yinyin spent two days and carefully inquired with different people, such as Dong Qinghua and Fang Youqin who had been to Zhoucheng, about where there were interesting things to do in Zhoucheng, which food was delicious, and which temple was famous.
There is also Mr. Lin who often goes to Zhoucheng for business. The things on that street in Zhoucheng are good and the prices are reasonable.
All the way to Zhoucheng, where can I find a hotel that is comfortable, safe and reasonably priced?
After inquiring and comparing one by one, Xu Yinyin wrote a complete travel guide for the city and was ready to set off.
When a large family goes out, first of all, they need cars. Her family has a horse-drawn carriage and a mule cart. They also bought a carriage and hitched Xu Dajun's horse, so there are almost three cars.
Early that morning, we set off from Qingyunfang.
There was a small white carriage at the head, driven by Xi Xin, and sitting on top were Xu Yinyin, Zhang Xiulan, and Mrs. Xu.
The second small brown carriage was driven by Du Bayi, and on top were Xu Chunxi, Erbao, Xu Wuya and Luo Shi.
Although the third carriage was pulled by a mule, the carriage was also very comfortable. Xu Yinyin's previous carriage was driven by Huang Daping, and on top sat old man Xu Dajun and Xu Erlang Xu Sanlang.
The weather in early October is neither hot nor cold, but cool and refreshing. You don’t have to worry about the unbearable heat or freezing temperatures, so it’s the most suitable time for travel.
This was the first time for Mr. Xu to travel far away by car, and even take a big boat. He was very excited. When he got out of the city, he simply raised the curtain of the car and looked at the passing scenery outside the car. He felt excited and spoke loudly.
I couldn't help but keep talking.
Not to mention him, except for Xu Yinyin, Zhang Xiulan and Xu Dajun, everyone in this industry was so excited that their hands were shaking.
Going out for fun, how dare they think about such a thing before?
It’s all Tuo Yin Yin’s blessing now!
There was joy in the corners of Mr. Xu's eyes, "Yin Yin is so powerful. She can find incredible mineral deposits even if she goes to do a favor for Mr. Yang, and even gets a reward from the emperor. This is the smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb of our old Xu family."
Great news!"
I thought that such an honor would have to wait until Liulangzhongxiucai was elected, but I didn't expect that his granddaughter would be promising!
They received a reward of two hundred taels of gold! They all benefited from their granddaughter during this trip!
The three Xu Dajun brothers looked at each other and agreed unanimously again.
Grandpa was so happy that he repeated these words several times along the way.
Mrs. Xu in the first carriage didn't give in too much. She was closer, which was more convenient. She held Xu Yinyin's hand, which was a very sweet kiss.
"Yin Yin, my dear granddaughter, why are you so powerful? This is the first time in my whole life that grandma has seen someone who has been rewarded by the emperor. This is my granddaughter!
Oops! It’s like a dream!
When you were a child, your grandma often muttered secretly that you could only eat and be lazy and useless. Grandma must apologize to you now. She should have said it a long time ago. What did you say? Don't look at people through the cracks in the door.
Grandma used to look at you through the crack in the door, it’s grandma’s fault.”
Xu Yinyin was holding her hand and listening to what she said one after another, she couldn't help but want to laugh. Those four girls in the past were not wrong, right? Who asked for this change? She really didn't apologize for this.
Very bearable.
He interrupted by changing the topic, "Nai, are you seasick?"
"Ah? I don't know if I'm dizzy or not. I've never been on a boat before." Mrs. Xu was stunned and couldn't help but lift the curtain and look outside. "We're going to take a boat now? It's so fast."
"Not yet. We have to get on the boat in the afternoon. I'm not afraid of seasickness. I have seasickness medicine." It's faster to take a boat to Zhoucheng. The dock is in Jiangkou Town, which is dozens of miles away from Fucheng. They set off from Fucheng in the morning and arrived at Jiangkou.
After lunch, we took a boat ride.
She had already inquired about it. There were three passenger ships going to Zhoucheng every five days, but there was a certain number of passengers the passenger ships could carry. There were so many of them, and they were traveling in horse-drawn carriages. No one could be left behind. It was inconvenient to take a passenger ship.
Therefore, she planned to charter a boat directly. There are boats that provide charter services at the dock at any time. She can charter the boat alone or in partnership.
In short, if you charter a boat, it will leave when you charter it. You can stop at which dock you want. You have the final say.
Anyone with a carriage can board a boat. Dong Qinghua and others used to charter a boat when they went to Zhoucheng. It was not expensive. It only cost two hundred taels to charter a large boat.
For this group of people, plus the carriage, it is enough to charter a medium-sized boat without sharing a boat with others, and it only costs seventy taels of silver.
For seventy taels of silver, you can have a comfortable seat, and you can follow it with cars and horses. You don't have to go to Zhoucheng to rent a car, and it's the same thing.
After a leisurely ride all morning, we arrived at Jiangkou Town before noon.
As soon as you enter Jiangkou Town, you can see the wide river, with boats floating on the river from time to time.
The closer we get to the pier, the louder the sound of people and the sound of people shouting to take the boat can be heard all the time.
In addition, you can also see many boats docked at the pier, some carrying passengers and some carrying cargo.
What a wonderful scene of the bustling ancient wharf.
